Worst place ever , wouldn’t ever go back.
Pros:

The apartment was okay but without the facilities mentioned, some of them were missing as one of them was hair dryer.

Cons:

There was no parking around, when i booked the hotel through booking.com i been told its a private parking, but there wasn’t one and been told by hotel staff its for 25€ one night parking nearby in a garage.
Also everyone outside was druggies all over on the street been told upon asking several persons this area isn’t safe and we felt the same, not a family place to live and walk around, worst place ever. Also upon arrival been asked to deposit 100€ for nothing, and i believe its all unfair and totally violated the policies of booking.com as it wasn’t mentioned anywhere.

Pros:

Apartamento localizado próximo à rede de metrô e com pontos de comércio próximo. Com uma pequena caminhada de pouco mais de 1 quilômetro era possível chegar aos pontos turísticos de interesse. Limpo e organizado.

Dairede sunulan bir kaç espresso kapsülü gibi ürünlerin ücrete tabii olması garip geldi. Bulunduğum her yerde ücretsizdi

da consigliare, stando un po' attenti quando si circola nei dintorni
Pros:

Posizione ottimale per i trasporti (stazione treni, bus e metro vicinissimi). Alloggio spazioso in ordine e con buone dotazioni.

Cons:

Il residence è sul limitare di una zona non molto sicura alla sera, ma tutto sommato non problematica.
